Ferritin variants with increased stability, complexation ability and transferrin receptor affinity

The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a transferrin receptor binding domain (TRBD) of a ferritin variant. The TRBD comprises one or more glutamine residues mutated into glutamic acid residues and/or one or more asparagine residues mutated into aspartic acid residues. 5 The invent...

More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a transferrin receptor binding domain (TRBD) of a ferritin variant. The TRBD comprises one or more glutamine residues mutated into glutamic acid residues and/or one or more asparagine residues mutated into aspartic acid residues. 5 The invention further relates to a complex of this polypeptide and a label or drug, and an isolated cellular delivery system comprising the polypeptide or the complex of the invention as well as uses of such system for prophylaxis, therapy, diagnosis or theragnosis, in particular for therapy of cancer or inflammatory diseases.
